PREFACE 


This  Catalogue  covers  the  Library  relating  to  the  Literature 
of  the  Law,  brought  together  by  my  Husband,  the  late  John 
V.  L.  Pruyn  of  Albany,  Chancellor  of  the  University  of  the 
State  of  New  York. 

The  collecting  of  these  volumes  was  one  of  the  recreations 
of  a  useful  life.  It  afforded  unfailing  enjoyment  through  many 
years  of  active  professional  work,  and  completed,  it  brought 
companionship  in  his  later  days. 

Early  in  his  legal  career,  Mr.  Pruyn  set  aside  certain  securi- 
ties, the  principal  and  increase  of  which  kept  constantly  in- 
vested, provided  a  fund  for  the  indulgence  of  this  literary  taste. 
Many  publications  which  it  is  now  difficult  or  impossible  to 
find,  were  thus  preserved. 

This  volume  sets  down  in  order  the  result  of  his  forethought 
and  discriminating  judgment. 

The  compilation  of  the  Catalogue,  under  my  direction,  has 
been  a  labor  of  love  and  1  trust  to  those  to  whom  it  may  come, 
it  will  be  an  added  testimonial  to  the  wisdom  of  him  whose 
name  the  collection  bears.
